Firefox Home for iPhone now available in the App Store

It looks like Apple has approved the Firefox Home app. And just a reminder — its not a full browser. That said, it still seems like it will be a decent app for Firefox users that are also sporting an iPhone. Personally it would have been nicer to see this launch as a universal app with iPad support, but I guess we cannot expect everything.

Moving on though, the Firefox Home app will give you access to items including your Firefox desktop history, bookmarks and any open tabs. Basically, your desktop version of Firefox syncs with the cloud, which in turn gives you the access while on the go from your iPhone (or iPod touch). A nice plus for when you have a few tabs open and have to run out for a while. Of course, that ends up meaning you are likely to take work with you sometimes.

In all, the setup appears to be fairly simple. Make sure Firefox is installed on your computer and then install the Firefox Sync add-on. After that you can install the app on your iPhone or iPod touch and then enter your account info on your computer and iPhone and you should be in-sync moving forward.
